The TS2250 Model H5S Tape Drive uses a 6 Gbps dual port SAS (Serial Attached
SCSI) interface for connection to a wide spectrum of system servers. The
new TS2250 attaches to the IBM System p5®, IBM Power® System Model p6, and IBM Power System
Model p7, and to IBM System x® and PC servers. The TS2250 also supports Microsoft® Windows®,
HP-UX, Sun Solaris, and UNIX®.

The following IBM TS2250 H5S Half-high LTO Ultrium 5 Tape Drive enhancements
are designed to help improve performance, capacity, and reliability:

This release of the IBM Long Term File System software application leverages
LTO5 tape partitioning. It is designed to enable a self-describing tape file
format and to deliver an easy tape storage and distribution solution without
the use of additional database applications. Customers of the IBM Long Term
File System software are those who require a standard tape cartridge format
at low-cost and will use standalone IBM LTO5 tape drives. IBM Long Term
File System is the perfect solution for those in the Media and Entertainment
industry and other fields that need massive data storage on tape for long
retention periods, such as banking, scientific research, and government sectors.
For further information and list of supported operating systems, refer to
the following Web site

Increased performance: Maximum tape drive throughput native data
rate performance is up to 140 MB/sec. Data tracks are written 16 at a time.
IBM Ultrium
5 Tape Drives can read and write LTO Ultrium 4 and 5 Data Cartridges, and
can read LTO Ultrium 3 Data Cartridges.
Note: Although the Ultrium 5 Tape
Drive provides the capability for excellent tape performance, other components
of the system may limit the actual performance achieved. Also, although the
compression technology used in the tape drive can typically double the amount
of data that can be stored on the media, the actual degree of compression
achieved is highly sensitive to the characteristics of the data being compressed.

Increased tape cartridge capacity: The tape cartridge physical
capacity is nearly double the Ultrium 4 Data Cartridge, up to 1.5 TB native
physical capacity (3.0 TB with 2:1 compression), with the use of the new IBM LTO
Ultrium 1.5 TB Data Cartridge. This is achieved by increasing the linear density
and the media length. The tape itself is an advanced metal particle tape developed
to help provide durability and capacity.

Attachment options: The TS2250 Tape Drive comes with a 6 Gbps SAS
interface for connection to a wide spectrum of open system servers. The TS2250
is supported on IBM Power System
p6 and p7, IBM System
x, Sun Solaris, HP-UX, Microsoft Windows 2003, Linux®, and other
open systems.

Giant Magneto Resistive (GMR) head design: LTO 5 introduces the
Giant Magneto Resistive (GMR) head with beveled contouring for reducing stiction/friction,
especially with smoother LTO5 media types. This head design is well proven
in Enterprise Tape products and helps minimize contact, debris accumulation,
and wear on the tape as it moves over the read/write heads.

Digital speed matching: The Ultrium 5 Tape Drive is designed to
perform dynamic speed matching at one of fourteen speeds which reduces the
number of backhitch repositions and improves throughput performance by more
closely matching the speed of the data to or from the host. Speed matching
on Ultrium 5 ranges from fourteen speeds, 40 to 140 MB/sec, versus seven speeds,
30 to 120 MB/sec on Ultrium 4.

WORM media support: The IBM 3589 Ultrium 5 1.5 TB WORM Tape Cartridges
are designed for applications such as archiving and data retention as well
as those applications requiring an audit trail. These cartridges work with
the IBM LTO
Ultrium 5 Tape Drive to help prevent the alteration or deletion of user data.

Large internal data buffer: There is a 256 MB internal data buffer
in the Ultrium 5 Half-high Tape Drive.

IBM Long
Term File System partitioning support: The principal function of the media
partitioning is to allow for faster data access by splitting the cartridge
into two media partitions. WORM media cannot be partitioned.

This release of the IBM Long Term File System software application leverages
LTO5 tape partitioning. It is designed to enable a self-describing tape file
format and to deliver an easy tape storage and distribution solution without
the use of additional database applications. Customers of the IBM Long Term
File System software are those who require a standard tape cartridge format
at low-cost and will use standalone IBM LTO5 tape drives. IBM Long Term
File System is the perfect solution for those in the Media and Entertainment
industry and other fields that need massive data storage on tape for long
retention periods, such as banking, scientific research, and government sectors.
For further information and list of supported operating systems, refer to
the following Web site

Highly integrated electronics using IBM engineered copper technology: This
technology is designed to reduce the total number of components in the drive,
help lower chip temperatures, and reduce power requirements, providing a more
reliable drive. The fifth-generation drive electronics are designed to provide
error correction of soft errors and in memory arrays.

Dual-stage 16-channel head actuator: The actuator is designed to
provide precision head alignment to help support higher track density and
improved data integrity.

Independent tape loader, threader motors, and positive pin retention: These
are designed to help improve the reliability of loading and unloading a cartridge,
and to retain the pin even if tension is dropped. An independent loader motor,
coupled with the positive pin retention, is designed to cause the tape to
thread with a higher level of reliability.

Servo and track layout technology: There are 1280 data tracks in
Ultrium 5. The high-bandwidth servo system features a low mass servo to help
more effectively track servo bands and improve data throughput with damaged
media in less-than-optimal shock and vibration environments.

Surface Control Guiding Mechanism: IBM's patented Surface Control
Guiding Mechanism is designed to guide the tape along the tape path in the
Ultrium 5 Tape Drive. This method uses the surface of the tape, rather than
the edges, to control tape motion. This helps reduce tape damage (especially
to the edges of the tape) and tape debris, which comes from the damaged edges
and can accumulate in the head area.

Robust drive components optimized for automation environments: To
help enhance reliability and prolong the life of the drives, some of the most
robust components available are used, such as an all metal clutch, steel ball
bearings in loader, robust leader block design, and a single circuit card.

Power management: The Ultrium 5 Tape Drive power management function
is designed to control the drive electronics to be either completely turned
off or in a low-power mode when the circuit functions are not needed for drive
operation. LTO5 will have the most dramatic power savings implementation of
any IBM LTO
generation. This power savings is designed to bring the wattage used by the
drive down to a target of 5 watts at time of availability. This savings is
realized in an unloaded state with no commands being issued to the drive over
ethernet or host interface.

Separate writing of multiple filemarks: Separate writing of multiple
filemarks is designed to cause any write command of two or more filemarks
to cause a separate data set to be written containing all filemarks after
the first. This feature has two advantages. First, it helps improve performance
if a subsequent append overwrites somewhere after the first filemark, and
second, write of multiple filemarks typically indicates a point where an append
operation might occur after the first of these filemarks. This change helps
prevent having to rewrite data set containing customer data and the first
filemark, if such an append occurs.

LTO Data Compression (LTO-DC): The Ultrium 5 and 4 uses LTO-DC,
which is an implementation of a Lempel-Ziv class 1 (LZ-1) data compression
algorithm. LTO-DC is an extension of Adaptive Lossless Data Compression (ALDC)
and an improvement over previous IBM lossless compression algorithms. IBM's
patented "Scheme-Swapping" compression is designed to look ahead at incoming
data, and determine the most efficient storage method (either ALDC or pass-thru
mode) to help provide optimal data compression and increase data throughput.

LTO Cartridge Memory (LTO-CM): Contained within the LTO Ultrium
data cartridge is the LTO-CM, which is a passive, contactless silicon storage
device that is physically a part of the cartridge. The LTO-CM is designed
to hold information about that specific cartridge, the media in the cartridge,
and the data on the media. The storage capacity of the LTO-CM is 8 KB. Communication
between the drive and the LTO-CM is via a low-level radio frequency (RF) field
transmitted by the drive to the cartridge.

Statistical Analysis and Reporting System (SARS): The Ultrium 5
Tape Drive uses SARS to help isolate failures between media and hardware.
SARS uses the cartridge performance history saved in the CM module and the
drive performance history kept in the drive flash EEPROM to help determine
the likely cause of failure. SARS is designed to cause the drive to request
a cleaner tape, to mark the media as degraded, and to indicate that the hardware
has degraded.

These cartridges have been designed to provide several enhancements over
previous tape technologies. They are designed to work with tape drives that
have increased tape speeds and high-density data recording. The case is specially
designed for use in automated libraries and is designed for repeated, unattended
handling. The tape itself is an advanced metal particle tape developed for
durability and capacity.

New on TS2250 is the IBM Long Term File System partitioning support which
enables data to be written individually on your media without affecting data
on another partition.

With support for IBM LTO Ultrium-format tape data cartridges, the TS2250
Tape Drive provides an excellent migration path from digital linear tape (DLT
or SDLT), 1/4 in (QIC), 4 mm (DAT), or 8 mm Tape Drives. It can be a cost-effective
solution for backup, save-and-restore, and archiving functions as the entry
point for the family of IBM Ultrium tape products.

Limitations

SAS cable lengths are limited to 5.5 m (18 ft).

Installing more than one TS2250 tape drive on a SAS bus may impact tape
drive or system performance. Intermixing of other SAS devices on the same
bus as the TS2250 may also impact performance of those devices.

Although multiple systems may be attached to a tape drive, the systems
cannot use the drive simultaneously.

While the compression technology can increase the amount of data stored
on the media, the actual degree of compression achieved is highly sensitive
to the characteristics of the data being compressed.
